Instant impact recruit: Iowa Hawkeyes

National signing day has come and gone, which means we can begin to fully evaluate the haul each team collected. This week on the Big Ten blog, we're looking at which player or position group has the potential to make an instant impact for each conference team in 2017.

Up next: Iowa

Position group: Wide receivers

Iowa signed four receivers in its 2017 class: Max Cooper (Waukesha, Wisconsin), Henry Marchese (Lincolnshire, Illinois), Ihmir Smith-Marsette (Newark, New Jersey) and Brandon Smith (Lake Cormorant, Mississippi). Several schools wanted Smith-Marsette to play cornerback, but he will get his shot at receiver in Iowa City.
